Why would you want to call it sideloading when you’re not loading from the side?
I don’t know what you think “loading from the side” means? I use the term for the same reason I use any other term: to convey ideas through common understandings.
It’s just doing what Google wants you to do.
Why the fuck would Google care what words you use?
It means downloading not from the internet but from another device.
Google wants it to mean installing software they don’t condone, but I don’t see why the rest of it should follow their lead. I don’t know anyone who calls installing from FDroid “sideloading”
The words people use influences public opinion and the bottom line of corporations such as Ford and Google.
